Hello,

What would be the most sensible way of setting up 1 PC to use for two users?

Via teamviewer or remote desktop
2 mouses, 2 keyboards, 2 monitors.

 

Both users have their own computers. Just from time to time each has to conect to that 1PC

 

Is there's anything more sufisticated?

that would  lose the 1PC meaning if you had teamviewer...

If you need help on used parts, contact me. I'm an used enthusiast.

as linus did it, his co-workers said, it has a long response time if you don't have Really really great Internet to stream it Live without feeling latency

But if you don't mind the latency you can do it.

if that is to be taken as written, then i'd suggest simple Remote Desktop from the users local PC, to the one they want to connect to.

I'm assuming here that they are all on the same local network.

Easiest & Free way is to use VM Ware/Virtual Box, run your Virtual machine on 2nd monitor, assign your 2nd keyboard & mouse to VM and some USB if you need a port, and done.

 

Now as for not so easy, and using software (paid software) is one of example using softxpand
